UNFORTUNATELY WE CURRENTLY DO NOT OFFER BIFOCAL OR PROGRESSIVE LENSES.

This is because special additional measurements are required in order to ensure your glasses are perfectly accurate.

You can also purchase our frames only and have your bifocal or progressive lenses fitted by your optometrist or at your local optical store. If you would like to do this you will receive R100 off the price. To do this select “Non-Prescription Glasses” and then “I just want the frames with no lenses”.

Please select reading glass strength :

Non-prescription glasses

We recommend this option if you just want to buy our frames to look good in! Your new glasses frames will be fitted with high quality “plano” (blank) lenses. Sunglasses will be fitted with high quality polarised lenses.

Extras

I want high index lenses (We recommend it for you)

Since your prescription has a SPH (sphere) value greater than +4 or less than -4, we recommend high index lenses for your frames. These lenses are even thinner, lighter and flatter than our standard lenses.

I do not want high index lenses

Since your prescription has a SPH (sphere) value greater than +4 or less than -4, we highly recommend high index lenses for your frames.

Extras

I want high index lenses if my prescription is high (We highly recommend it for strong prescriptions)

When we receive your prescription, we will check to see if you require high index lenses. If you select this option and we determine that your SPH (sphere) value is greater than +4 or less than -4, we will fit high index lenses to your frames. These lenses are even thinner, lighter and flatter than our standard lenses and include the same great anti-reflective coating. For strong prescriptions, high index lenses are more comfortable and thinner.

We will automatically charge an additional R500 for this choice. If, when we receive your prescription, we determine that your SPH (sphere) value is +4 or less or -4 or more and high index lenses are not required, we will fit standard lenses to your frames and refund the additional R500 charge

I know that my prescription does not need high index lenses OR I do not want high index lenses

If you choose this option, we will fit standard lenses to your frames. Choose this option if you know that your prescription has a SPH (sphere) value of +4 or less or -4 or more or are certain that you do not want high index lenses regardless of your prescription strength. Please note that we are only able to fill prescriptions with a SPH (sphere) value up to +8 or -8 using our standard lenses.
